Event-specific proof: point 1

Create a basic event record before drawing conclusions. Note the date and approximate time, aircraft registration or other identifying information if known, operator, pilot or crew information if available, flight purpose, departure and destination, and whether the event involved takeoff, cruise, approach, landing, or another phase of flight. Preserve the names and contact information of witnesses without asking them to speculate about cause.

• Aircraft make, model, registration, and visible identifying marks
• Operator, flight number or trip description, and passenger information
• Weather and visibility observations, photographs, videos, and communications
• The location where wreckage, components, luggage, or other physical evidence was observed

Event-specific proof: point 2

These details can help separate information about the aircraft and flight from assumptions based only on the location. A person should avoid moving, repairing, discarding, or altering relevant equipment when safe preservation is possible.

Documentation sequence: point 1

Use a dated file to organize the event. Keep original photographs, videos, messages, receipts, medical documents, employment records, and correspondence in their original form when possible. Make a separate copy for notes and mark each item with when and how it was received.

• Write a chronology from the first known event through medical care and follow-up.
• List every person or organization that may possess aircraft, maintenance, operational, medical, or investigative material.
• Record requests for information, responses, file names, and the location of physical evidence.
• Keep a symptom, treatment, work, and expense log supported by underlying records.

Documentation sequence: point 2

If an investigator, operator, insurer, or other custodian contacts an injured person, preserve the communication and identify what records or physical evidence the person is being asked about. Do not guess when a fact is unknown; label it as unknown and identify what could verify it.

Practical next steps: point 1

A useful next conversation can begin with a concise event summary and an evidence index. Bring the chronology, aircraft and operator identifiers, witness list, photographs or videos, medical records, expense documentation, and copies of communications. Identify what is missing, who may hold it, and whether any wreckage or component has changed custody.

• Confirm the event date, location description, aircraft, operator, flight, and phase of flight.
• Separate firsthand observations from information received from others.
• Ask which investigative, maintenance, operational, passenger, and medical records remain outstanding.
• Preserve communications and physical evidence without altering originals.

Practical next steps: point 2
